Hubler, Historical Genealogist, February 25, 2006 May 8, 2006 3 HARDEE / CLEBURNE 1864 (Type 1) Battle Flag Introduction - This Hardee/Cleburne 1864 (Type 1) pattern battle flag’s provenance and history is at the top of the “Who’s Who – What’s What” list of Army of Tennessee regimental banners issued in the Western Theater of America’s War of the Rebellion!! It was carried at the front of one of Mississippi’s most famous regiments whose antecedent units fought in numerous major battles under the direct orders of Confederate leaders such as Lieutenant General William Joseph Hardee, Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne and Brigadier General Mark Perrin Lowrey; also generals Albert Sidney Johnston, P.G.T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston, John Bell Hood, Simon Bolivar Buckner and Sterling Alexander Martin “S.A.M.” Wood. General William J. Hardee General Patrick R. Cleburne General Mark P. Lowrey General John Bell Hood Lowrey’s Brigade and the Third Mississippi Infantry Battalion, 32 nd Mississippi / 33 rd Mississippi (Hardcastle’s) and 45 th Mississippi Infantry Regiments - The units represented by this flag had a long battle history in the Western Theater, and received many commendations during the Civil War. Special Orders, No. 151, was issued at Richmond, Virginia on September 12, 1861 directing newly appointed First Lieutenant A.B. Hardcastle to proceed to Memphis, Tennessee, and report for duty to General Albert Sidney Johnston, commanding Department Numbers 2. On November 16, 1861, First Lieutenant Aaron B. Hardcastle was appointed Major in the Provisional Army of the Confederacy with the authority from his friend, Gen. Albert S. Johnston, then commander of the Confederate Armies in the West, to raise a battalion. Thus, the Civil War history and provenance attributed to this flag began with the formation in November 1861 of the Third Mississippi Battalion Volunteer Infantry that would eventually be commanded by Major Aaron B. Hardcastle. John S. Carothers, Company B, 3 rd Mississippi Battalion, wrote about the formation of his battalion in the Confederate Veteran , April 1898: “In the early part of 1861, when volunteering was at high tide and the state government was unprepared and unable to arm and equip the troops as fast as tendered, Gov. Pettus ordered the commands to rendezvous at Jackson, to drill and become inured to camplife until arms could be procured and equipage prepared, before turning them into the Confederate service. In response to this call seven companies were assembled at the capital [Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi]. Company A, Capt. Duncan, was enlisted in Hinds (and Simpson) County, Company B, Capt. Henry W. Martin, Itawamba County, Company C, Capt. E. F. Nunn, Noxubee County, Company D, Capt. Hammett, Choctaw County, Company E, Capt. McNair, Amite County, Company F, Capt. Wolf, Tippah County, Company G, Capt. William Houston, Pontotoc County. May 8, 2006 4 HARDEE / CLEBURNE 1864 (Type 1) Battle Flag “Because aspiring men had obtained permission to raise commands for their special colonelcy, the project of recruiting three more companies to the seven, to make a regiment, was frustrated. These companies grew impatient of the delay, and the daily rountine of camp duties grew monotonous as they read of exhibitions of glorious courage of their brothers in arms at the front. Each company was camped to itself, but they were in contiguous camps, as a convenience for medical aid, for the distribution of commissary and quartermaster supplies, and the division of camp duties, such as patrolling and guarding. “…A spirit of jealousy and unjust rivalry as to organization and the leadership of the composite command entered and developed a species of electioneering, moving, and checkmating among the aspirants that is refreshing to recall. At this juncture A. B, Hardcastle,…one of the escort that came with Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston across the plains from California, entered as a formidable competitor for the honors, and his prestige as a soldier and by his preferment with authorities at Richmond and with Gen. Johnston, he was installed as major over companies A, B, and C [sic-E], the other companies having been ordered to New Orleans. The commands, being constituted and christened the Third Mississippi Battalion of Infantry, as an exigency, were ordered to Bowling Green, Ky., landing there in December (1861). The other four companies (C, D, F, and G) having shipped to New Orleans, were without a commander, save the assumption of Senior Capt. Wolf [Capt. Francis A. Wolff, Company F], who, from his age and experience as a soldier in the war with Mexico, was accepted pro tem. as leader. After a short separation the troops at New Orleans were ordered to rejoin us at Bowling Green, which they did a few days before its evacuation and the retrograde movement of the army prior to the fall of Forts Henry and Donelson, in February, 1862.” These seven companies had enrolled around the state between August 10 and November 13, 1861 and were assembled at Camp Anderson, near Jackson in Hinds County, Mississippi, arriving there in between November and mid-December. As of December 17, 1861 the 3 rd Mississippi Battalion was organized into seven companies by Major Hardcastle: A – The Duncan Riflemen; B – The Insurgents of Itawamba County; C – The Mississippi Rebels of Noxubee County; D – The Choctaw Rough and Readies; E – The McNair Rifles; F – The Tippah Highlanders; and G – The Mississippi Volunteers of Pontotoc County. General Albert Sidney Johnston, CSA Colonel Aaron Bascom Hardcastle, CSA May 8, 2006 5 HARDEE / CLEBURNE 1864 (Type 1) Battle Flag Soon after being organized, the 3 rd Mississippi Battalion was divided, with three companies, A, B and E, sent by train on December 26th to Bowling Green, Kentucky to join Albert Sidney Johnston’s Army of Central Kentucky, and were assigned to Brig. Gen. S.A.M. Wood’s Brigade of Major General William J. Hardee’s Corps; and four companies, C, D, F and G, under the command of Capt. Francis A. Wolff, Company F, were sent to New Orleans to recruit and assist in the defense of the city. In two letters to Brig. Gen. S.A.M. Wood, Hardcastle informed Gen. Wood that his prospects for forming a regiment from his seven companies were very good. This separation became of great concern to Hardcastle in January 1862, because, according to Hardcastle in a letter written January 7, 1862, Capt. Wolff was a “junior” Captain without any military experience or means of instructing his new and inexperienced recruits, and the companies were deficient in equipments, arms and clothing. In the event these four companies could not be recalled, Governor Pettus of Mississippi suggested and urged the transfer of Hardcastle and his other three companies to Louisiana so Hardcastle could have the seven companies together as one unit. Hardcastle felt that would ensure the organization of a regiment. The Legislature of Mississippi passed an act in the fall of 1861 that called out ten thousand men for sixty days service in the Confederate army. They were to arm and equip themselves for an emergency.

  • 12Th Missouri Infantry
    12th Missouri Infantry By: Jon Stacy; Camp Historian, Col. F.K. Hecker Camp #443 (SUVCW) The 12th Missouri Infantry was organized by Major Peter J. Osterhaus, immediately after the 2nd Missouri Infantry was mustered out, on the orders of General John C. Fremont. Osterhaus sent Otto Schadt to St. Louis; to begin recruiting. Many of the soldiers of the 2nd Missouri (those that stayed with Osterhaus at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek) signed up into the new three year regiment, however, two companies from Belleville volunteered their services to Major Osterhaus, after his actions at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek and he took charge of two companies of men, who at the time were unassigned. One company was raised almost entirely in Belleville; under the charge of Jacob Kaercher, which left Belleville for St. Louis on 6 August 1861. The other company was raised with men from Belleville, O’Fallon, Lebanon & from Summerfield; by Hugo A. Wangelin. Many of these men had previously served in the 9th Illinois Infantry (Three Months) and refused to reenlist in the regiment if Colonel Eleazar A. Paine continued to command it. It was stated that 92% of the regiment was born in Europe. Joseph Osterhaus, placed many of the Belleville men in higher position, since he already knew and trusted them. The 12th Missouri was organized on 10 September 1861 with Karecher’s Company being organized as Company A & Wangelin’s Company being organized as Company B. Hugo Wangelin was made a Major at organization. Their training period was brief, as they joined Fremont’s Advance into Central Missouri, where Osterhaus‘ tenure as Commander was effectively ended, as he was made their Division Commander, Major Wangelin took informal Command of the Regiment, in the absence of Lt.

  • The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville
    THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory.

  • Chickamauga the Battle
    Chickamauga the Battle, Text and Photographs By Dennis Steele Senior Staff Writer he Battle of Chickamauga flashed into a white-hot clash on September 19, 1863, following engagements in Teastern and central Tennessee and northern Mississippi that caused the withdrawal of the Confederate Army of Tennessee (renamed from the Army of Mississippi) under GEN Braxton Bragg to Chattanooga, Tenn. Bragg was forced to make a further withdrawal into northwest Georgia after the Union’s Army of the Cumberland, under MG William S. Rosecrans, crossed the Tennessee River below Chattanooga, flanking Bragg’s primary line of defense. Chattanooga was a strategic prize. Union forces needed it as a transportation hub and supply center for the planned campaign into Georgia. The South needed the North not to have it. At LaFayette, Ga., about 26 miles south of Chattanooga, Bragg received reinforcements. After preliminary fights to stop Rosecrans, he crossed Chickamauga Creek to check the Union advance. In two days of bloody fighting, Bragg gained a tactical victory over Rosecrans at Chickamauga, driving the Army of the Cumberland from the battlefield. The stage was set for Bragg to lose the strategic campaign for Chattanooga, however, as he failed to pursue the retreating Union force, allowing it to withdraw into Chattanooga behind a heroic rear-guard stand by a force assembled from the disarray by MG George H. Thomas. The Battle of Chickamauga is cited as the last major Southern victory of the Civil War in the Western Theater. It bled both armies. Although official records are sketchy in part, estimates put Northern casualties at around 16,200 and Southern casualties at around 18,000.

BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse.

A current or future federation or new ‘nation’ may face fundamental political differences, even irreconcilable difficulties, which can only be settled by force. In future states will inevitably face both separatist issues and polarised argument over the political development of their nation. It is probable that a civil war may again occur where the world may watch and consider forms of intervention, including military force, but be unwilling to do so decisively. This type of Civil War therefore remains historically significant, offering lessons for approaching the problems of strategy in a politically complex environment. Equally it offers insights into civil-military relations in highly complex conflicts where loyalties are not always clear. Success and ultimate triumph in the U.S.

Drew Perkins 2 March 2016 “Not Written in Letters of Blood: The Forgotten Legacy of the Army of the Cumberland” There is a chapter missing in the annals of Civil War history. The story of an entire army, and the thousands of men that comprised it, is not being told. That army is the Army of the Cumberland, which teeters on the verge of being lost to history due to three main factors: poorly timed defeats and victories in battle, personal feuds and politicking between Union officers, and the undue emphasis of Civil War historians on Southern Romanticism. While the largest Union army of the war, the Army of the Potomac, has received dozens if not hundreds of publications written about it in the last few decades, the second largest army, the Army of the Cumberland, has garnered no such attention.
